Kickstarter: Classic Dungeon Adventurers Set - Chibi Style

[Recruittons]

Joined up because I hadn't seen this posted and I think it should be.

This is for a set of chibi style, Troll Forged plastic miniatures in the likeness of some adorable adventurers from 80s TV.

Here is a link to the Kickstarter!

Highly recommend people check this thing out. It's pretty cool.

Old skool stylin!

LAST 13 HOURS.

So many targets hit with their Cuteness.

Bonus Chibi-Cthulhu's, Owlbears and more...

I love their concept art but don't know if they can hit my expections from it with their minis, so I'm going to wait until they start selling them out of their store and pick up the ones I want.

Agreed. I definitely want these, but I want to actually see them first.

There is the Dungeon Master mini @ the bottom of the KS page. And the Uni mini options.

[Patrick Harris @ SD]

Oh! I didn't see that one. Hmm ...

Blatant copyright violation. :(

[Patrick Harris @ SD]

The pony thing did have me concerned. I can easily see them getting sued over this. Hmm again.

Also the Cthulhu worries me. Should at least not CALL it Cthulhu.

[Sean K Reynolds]

Cthulhu is in the public domain. The characters from the D&D cartoon are not.

Ah okay, didn't realize Cthulhu was that old, but yup...

They actually received a letter from WoTC earlier today because their "Dusk Elf Assassin" and "Master Mage" bore more than a passing resemblance to Drizz't and Elminster. They changed the art and it seems things are okay on that front.

Yes, but by making them chibi are you providing enough degrees of separation that they no longer violate or fall into parady. Personally, I think so.

[Sean K Reynolds]

And you are a copyright lawyer or a copyright judge? :)

I would suspect the My Little Pony violation doesn't help either.
